K-9 (Looney Tunes)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the Looney Tunes character. For the robot dog on Doctor Who, see K-9 (Doctor Who).
K-9 is a cartoon Martian dog in the Warner Brother's Looney Tunes series of animated shorts. He is closely associated with Marvin the Martian as K-9 is Marvin's pet dog and sidekick in some Looney Tunes productions.
[edit] History
He first premiered in the short Haredevil Hare where he and his his owner Marvin tried to thwart Bugs Bunny who has stumbled on the pair's plans to destroy the Earth. In this short he is given his first speaking role. When he speaks he seems quiet unintellegent and gullible. This changes in later shorts where K-9 carries an air of superiority over his owner.
[edit] Other Appearances
In recent Warner Bros. productions, K-9 only plays small cameo roles in video games and films, such as Sheep, Dog, 'n' Wolf and the 2003 film Looney Tunes: Back in Action.
K-9 appeared in two episodes of Duck Dodgers, in which he was voiced by Frank Welker.
